Potter College of Arts & LettersDepartment of Theatre & DanceProposal to Create a New Course

(Action Item)

Contact Person: Carol Jordan, [email protected], (270) 745-8942

1. Identification of proposed course:1.1 Course prefix (subject area) and number: PERF 3621.2 Course title: Theatre in Diversion1.3 Abbreviated course title: Theatre in Diversion1.4 Credit hours: 3 credit hours1.5 Type of course: Practicum1.6 Prerequisites: SOCL 100 & 302 or THEA 252 and permission of instructor1.7 Course catalog listing: Prerequisite: SOCL 100 & 302 or THEA 252 and

permission of instructor. Course focusing on techniques for working with at-risk youth. Will provide students with a chance to teach drama skills anddevelop a performance showcase with teenagers in the juvenile justice system, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in reducing delinquency.

2. Rationale:2.1 Reason for developing the proposed course: This course grew out of a

community partnership with the Administrative Office of the Courts of Warren County. The WKU Theatre and Sociology departments were approached by Crystal Bohlander, a WKU alumnus who works with Family and Juvenile Services in Warren County, about implementing a Theatre in Diversion course modeled on similar programs that are being developed state-wide. Diversion programs are designed to provide at-risk teenagers who have committed low-level juvenile offenses a positive alternative to traditional community service or juvenile detention. The course offered an opportunity toexpand WKU’s service to the community while also providing WKU students interested in teaching theatre a chance to do a hands-on educational practicum. The course fits directly into WKU’s overall mission by requiring students to engage with the broader community as leaders to foster positive social change. The class was offered on a trial basis this past spring and proved to be a positive experience for both the diverted youth and the WKU students enrolled in the class. Establishing it on a permanent basis would allow the university to solidify its partnership with the Administrative Office of the Courts and to build on the successes of the initial offering. In the Theatre program, it would augmentthe Children’s Theatre and Creative Dramatics class (THEA 391) and the PlayProduction in the Schools class (THEA 425) by providing an experiential learningopportunity for students interested in theatre education at the secondary level.

2.2 Projected enrollment in the proposed course: Six to ten students a year.2.3 Relationship of the proposed course to courses now offered by the

department: The course provides additional training for students interested in pursuing theatre education, drama therapy and other careers that involve working with young people and at-risk populations. It expands on the opportunities provided in the Children’s Theatre and Creative Dramatics class (THEA391) which focuses primarily on curriculum for younger students by providing a chance to teach middle and high school students. It also allows students who have taken THEA 425 – Play Production in the Schools an opportunity to applythe skills gained in that course. It also builds on the community outreach of THEA 392 – Production of Theatre for Children, our annual children’s theatreseries, which allows our students to both travel to regional schools performing and doing workshops with students and to direct children’s shows on campus.

2.4 Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other departments: In addition to providing hands-on teaching experience for theatre students, the course is also designed to provide an authentic field experience for sociology students interested in criminology and the mechanisms of delinquency. Currently the Sociology Department offers SOCL 231: Introduction to Criminal Justice, SOCL 302: Strategies of Social Research, SOCL 330: Criminology,and SOCL 332: Juvenile Delinquency which provide an academic background on issues of criminology and juvenile crime and prepare students to conduct research in the field. PERF 362 is designed to provide Sociology students with a chance to use their knowledge of criminology and juvenile delinquency to work with actual at-risk teenagers, to develop and implement research strategies, and tocompile and evaluate the results. PERF 362 will be proposed as an elective in theCriminology minor and is designed for upper level sociology students interested in doing actual research in a real world environment.

2.5 Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other institutions: The University of the Cumberlands offers an annual Theatre in Diversion program that it lists as THEA 312: Theatre Outreach Lab. A Theatre in Diversion program has also been offered several times in the past as a special topics practicum at Northern Kentucky University. Kentucky court designated workers are actively searching for academic partners to expand arts-based diversion programs throughout the state. By establishing a regularly scheduled, permanent diversion course as part of the standard Theatre curriculum, WKU has the potential to be a model for future expansion of similar programs at other Kentucky universities and in other academic units at WKU. This course increases WKU’s involvement in the greater community, strengthens its partnership with local institutions, and expands service-based learning opportunities for students.

3. Discussion of proposed course:3.1 Course objectives:

Theatre students will learn about strategies for teaching theatre to at-risk teenagers and will have the opportunity to test these strategies in a real-lifeclassroom environment. They will develop and implement lesson plans, mentor students, and evaluate the effectiveness of lessons and teaching approaches. They will also direct the juvenile participants in the creation of a final showcase performance.

Sociology students will assess the effectiveness of the program as an intervention for at risk youth in the community. They will develop instruments for the collection of quantitative and qualitative data and will use these instruments to determine the actual impact of the program on the diverted youth. A faculty member from the Department of Sociology will oversee these research activities as part of his/her service to the community. WKU’s Institutional Review Board(IRB) will approve all research related activities.

3.2 Course outline:Unit One: Strategies for Working with At-Risk Youth: Students will be introduced to a range of strategies for teaching at-risk youths, and will study the latest research in delinquency in preparation for actually teaching youth.

Unit Two: Theatre Workshop: Students will create lesson plans designed to introduce youth to basic theatrical concepts and to increase positive peer interactions and enhance critical thinking and communication skills. They will implement these lessons with the youth and evaluate their effectiveness.

Unit Three: Showcase Development: Students will guide the diverted youth in creating a showcase performance that will be presented for their families and friends.

Unit Four: Evaluation: Theatre and Sociology students will use formal and informal data collected throughout the semester to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

3.3 Student expectations and requirements: Theatre students will be evaluated based on their written lesson plans, weekly journals analyzing the effectiveness of different teaching strategies, their hands-on teaching work with the diverted youth, and their final program evaluations. Sociology students will be evaluated based on the development and implementation of various research activities that will assess the effectiveness of the program.

3.4 Tentative texts and course materials: There are no specific texts required forthis course, although students may be referred to appropriate articles and research in the fields of education, theatre and criminology.

4. Resources:4.1 Library resources: Existing resources are sufficient.4.2 Computer resources: Existing resources are sufficient

5. Budget implications:

5.1 Proposed method of staffing: Current staffing is adequate to meet the needs of this course. Should the program grow significantly, the department or college could request another faculty line.

5.2 Special equipment needed: The one additional expense of the course is the cost of transporting the diverted youth from their schools to the WKU campus. This cost was covered by a PIE grant in the spring of 2012 and we are exploring additional grant funding through the ALIVE center and targeted donations. The cost for transportation for the entire semester last spring was approximately $800.00. We currently have $700.00 remaining from our PIE grant which we are seeking to roll over as seed money to use for transportation in the future.

5.3 Expendable materials needed: None5.4 Laboratory materials needed: None

6. Proposed term for implementation: Spring 2013

2. Revise course title: N/A2.1 Current course title:2.2 Proposed course title:2.3 Proposed abbreviated title:2.4 Rationale for revision of course title:

3. Revise course number: N/A3.1 Current course number:3.2 Proposed course number:3.3 Rationale for revision of course number:

4. Revise course prerequisites/ special requirements:4.1 Current prerequisites: ART 4324.2 Proposed special requirements: Senior standing with studio or graphic design

concentrations in BA or BFA4.3 Rationale for revision of course prerequisites//special requirements:

Students in the BA program will no longer be required to take ART 432. Making senior standing a requirement ensures this course is taken at the most relevant time in the student’s studies.

4.4 Effect on completion of major/minor sequence: There will be no adverse effect on time of completion.

5. Revise course catalog listing:5.1 Current course catalog listing: (1) Prerequisite: ART 432: Seminar workshop with

emphasis on presentation and discussion of practices that are appropriate to future professional development. To be taken the last semester of student’s program of study. Restricted to BFA and BA studio concentration majors. (Grade: Pass/Fail)

5.2 Proposed course catalog listing: (1) Special requirement: Senior standing with studio or graphic design concentrations in BA or BFA. Seminar workshop with emphasis on presentation and practices appropriate to future development. To be taken the last semester of the student’s program of study in art. (Grade: Pass/Fail)

5.3 Rationale for revision of course catalog listing: ART 432 is not an appropriate prerequisite for all students who will take ART 434. The course will focus on development of the student’s art practice. For some this will be professionally relevant (BFA majors), for others it will be more “life enhancing” (BA majors).

4. Rationale for the proposed program change:

ART 432 Portfolio was developed to serve the professional needs of Art Majors. The increased number of Advertising majors choosing this course as an elective has begun to impede the progress of art (Graphic Design) majors, forcing the department to offer more sections than are necessary. Removing this elective from the advertising major’s menu of selections only slightly reduces their choice of electives.

We do not require our BA majors to take ART 240 Drawing. It seems appropriate to remove this requirement for Advertising majors as well.

The result of the changes listed above reduces the required number of hours for the Minor in Graphic Design, allowing advertising majors more variety in selection of courses to fulfill their degree.

4. Rationale for the proposed program change: The National Association of Schools of Art and Design (the department’s national

accrediting agency) recommends our department establish a level of expectations that clearly separates our pre-professional degree, (BFA in Visual Art) from our liberal arts degree (BA in Visual Studies). Currently our BA Studio track has no minimum GPA requirement beyond the university’s overall standard of 2.0. The department’s BA in Art Education requires a minimum GPA of 2.5 for state certification purposes. Establishing this raised standard for entry into our BFA program is appropriate to our program’s goals.

A 514P designation will help advisors note students who have yet to pass their entry requirements for the BFA.

4. Rationale for the proposed program change: Most benchmark institutions and comparable music units offer a 2-semester sequence in Music History. The current 3-semester sequence requires 9 credit hours and places both juniors and seniors (2 cohorts of students) into History classes every Fall semester. Existing courses MUS 326 Music History I and MUS 327 Music History II have been revised to address the core content of the current 3-semester music history sequence. This revision will reduce Degree Program Requirements in the Bachelor of Music degree by 3 hours.

5. Proposed term for implementation and special provisions: Fall 2013

The course description for SOCL 231 in the current undergraduate catalog reads as follows: “Survey of criminal justice systems, including police, courts, and corrections.” When SOCL 231 was added to our curriculum, we forgot to revise the minor to include it in the list of restricted electives.

The course description for SOCL 234 in the current undergraduate catalog reads as follows: “Current issues faced by safety responders, primarily focusing on homeland security and criminal investigations.” SOCL 234 was added to our curriculum by an adjunct professor a few years back. The course has been offered twice (including Fall 2012) each time taught by an adjunct faculty. We would like to remove the course as offering it will continually rely on an adjunct as no full-time tenure track/tenured faculty feels comfortable teaching the course content.
